Service: Predictive ADM systems for healthcare and upbringing

Responsible organisation: Agency for Upbringing (Agentschap Opgroeien) (Local Government)

A Brussels startup called Kantify and the AI Lab at the Université Libre Bruxelles (Iridia) has—for the first time—developed a model for predicting atrial fibrillation, a heart rhythm disorder, which causes heart attacks. According to an interview in the Flemish newspaper De Standaard, Lauren Van Parys, a Flemish member of Parliament, said a newly formed government agency of Flanders called the Agency for Upbringing (Agentschap Opgroeien), will use AI to better predict whether problems will emerge with a particular child, based upon existing information . However, when asked about this further, the Agency for Upbringing indicated that there are no concrete plans yet, but that they are preparing a policy note about it.
